            place in contemporary society and which, to a great extent, determine its nature. It is be
            that philosophically conceived semiotics is well equipped to penetrate the sphere of commu

            processes in its entirety including the area of digital networks. At the same time, it app
            study of these processes can only be ensured by a philosophical programme that is not base
            accentuation of historicizing approaches, but emphasizes the adoption and application of m

            tools of semiotic and communication theories. The uniqueness of this programme is also dem

            conceptual tools of semiotics, philosophy and theory of communication to the analysis of s
            and media phenomena of contemporary society. Graduates are ready to analyse the nature and

            of processes taking place in the area of digital networks.
